An interesting black and white photo of a old style "press wheel"


An interesting black and white photo of a old style "press wheel" from a grain drill, cica 1910's. This wheel was part of a set of wheels that trailed behind a grain drill used to drill wheat. The wheel "pressed" the light layer of dirt down on top the seed to protect it and help preserve moisture so the seed would sprout and grow.
I have taken thousands of photos over the last few years... will try to share some from time to time. Today, I am trying to figure out this photo blog dealy.. You can now click on the photo and it should get larger and in focus so it can be seen better........... hopefully!!!
